INSTRUCTIONS FOR TAKING THE COURSE ASSIGNMENTS The text pages that you are to study are listed at the beginning of each assignment. Study these pages carefully before attempting to answer the questions. Pay close attention to tables and illustrations and read the learning objectives. The learning objectives state what you should be able to do after studying the material. Answering the questions correctly helps you accomplish the objectives. SELECTING YOUR ANSWERS Read each question carefully, then select the BEST answer. You may refer freely to the text. The answers must be the result of your own work and decisions. You are prohibited from referring to or copying the answers of others and from giving answers to anyone else taking the course. SUBMITTING YOUR ASSIGNMENTS To have your assignments graded, you must be enrolled in the course with the Nonresident Training Course Administration Branch at the Naval Education and Training Professional Development and Technology Center (NETPDTC). Following enrollment, there are two ways of having your assignments graded: (1) use the Internet to submit your assignments as you complete them, or (2) send all the assignments at one time by mail to NETPDTC. Grading on the Internet: Advantages to Internet grading are: you may submit your answers as soon as you complete an assignment, and you get your results faster; usually by the next working day (approximately 24 hours). In addition to receiving grade results for each assignment, you will receive course completion confirmation once you have completed all the assignments. To submit your assignment answers via the Internet, go to: http://courses.cnet.navy.mil Grading by Mail: When you submit answer sheets by mail, send all of your assignments at one time.
